Oh, Maple Story. I recently started it up again after my brothers made new characters. It’s really changed since I first played it approximately 6 or 7 years ago. I remember working for weeks/months to get to level 30…this time I did it in a few days!

I had that feeling with World of Warcraft.. took me forever to get to lvl60 in the beginning then some stuff happened I went on again and in next to no time lvl 60. Then it was get to 80 and not long after that I quit :D and found Guild Wars :D

I love the ability to restart so easily. Playing the same story for months drives me away from most games. The third time the publishers rewrote the game history, the novelty of a new story is easy to renew.
But it seems too easy now. I guess that’s the effect of vying for middle schoolers in the west to join…

So I started my head start with Guild Wars 2. I created a charr elementalist on the server Sea of Sorrows. Why? because that server just sounded cool :D I tried to make my charr look canine and coloured it like a black wolf with a bit of white. Her name is Sirius Starsong :D I’m not very far in the game yet as I had to work and such but it’s fun so far :D

Another recovering WOW addict here – I was a progression raider in a top guild. I’m not touching that game ever again! I still love Boomkin though.

I played Diablo 3 for a few weeks after it came out, got 2 characters to max level and lost interest with Inferno being insane, gold expensive, gear itemization is crap/random and with that felt there was no point in raising rest of the classes to max level. The newest patch with paragon levels sounds interesting, but blah.

Last game I played was pokemon conquest. Waiting for the new pokemon game to come out.

aaah yes the Boomkin is fun. I always liked playing a druid on WoW (mostly so I could outrun/outswim people) yeah some games get a little on the crazy side with gear, levels and such. Games are meant to be fun and enjoyed with friends. I’m glad your recovering from WoW it’s tough but there’s other games. I haven’t played pokemon since gameboy colour… I have a PSP and have been playing some PSone classics (mostly final fantasy games but other stuff too)

that’s cool! I’ve played a bit of Diagea but haven’t really gotten into it yet. Like final fantasy tactics it may take me awhile. I’m not very good with strategy type games :D I’m not letting that stop me though :D

I’m more of an role playing/point and click adventure/real time strategy gamer. I like forming strategies and/or progressing through an interesting story (I really like Assassin’s Creed 2, on that note). Most recent game I’ve played was Dungeon Defenders, which is a really cute 1st/3rd person tower defense/RPG-ish hybrid. Not usually a first person shooter or MMORPG player. I think Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Borderlands are the main exceptions.

…And I think I’ve gone on long enough here. I’ll go back to my tea. :)

@ Ag – good idea, I’m LittleBouPig on steam (or Daisy Chubb) – any other steam people should definitely add me – we could get together and play some TF2!!! or Left 4 Dead! or Terraria! Or anything else :D

My main is a shammy…we drop short duration totems ONLY now – think earthbind/mana tide etc…

Also though, the talent trees kind of annoy me. All roles within a single class get the same talent tree. You simply get 3/4 talents specific to the role you choose as your incentive for playing one role over the other. I’ve dealt with talent changes before, but I’m really not loving this one.

I think mists will still be fun, but so far I’m less interested than before. Though until my other half is done with the game, i’ll still play at least casually since if he’s playing it, i might as well.
